Chapter 454: A New Quest for the Sea Monster
What can make Shi Lei can't hold it, it will definitely not be a simple thing, the one in the middle is the size of his fist, if Shi Lei is not mistaken, it should also be a pearl, but it is a giant pearl, and more importantly, this thing is a round!
Generally, it is very rare to grow to such a large pearl, and it is rare to have such a regular shape, most of them look strange, and the big pearls that are famous in later generations are very strange in appearance, so such a round pearl is definitely a peerless treasure that is difficult to rival in the world, and there is no doubt that it is a unique treasure.

Even if it just lies there quietly, among a pile of pearls of different colors, or shapes, or bright colors, it is still the most dazzling existence, unforgettable, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as priceless.
If nothing else, this super-large pearl should be produced by the large clam in front of him, which is more than one meter in diameter, and other shells can't even close the two shells without wrapping such a large pearl, let alone produce such a big one.
Shi Lei swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, which immediately caused a chain reaction, and there was a sound of swallowing saliva around him, and everyone came back to their senses. Shi Lei reluctantly stared at the many jewels inside and looked at it a few more times, and then prepared to close the lid of the clams.
"Huh?!" It was these few unrelenting glances that made Shi Lei make a new discovery, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Is this gold?" Shi Lei pulled out a dark golden strip with a somewhat dull color and inconspicuous color from the corner of the clams, and asked a little uncertainly.
"That's right, it's gold, but it's probably a little older, so it's a little black."
After the blacksmith uncle saw the existence of those pearls, he stood by Shi Lei's side intentionally or unintentionally, afraid that some of these sailors couldn't help but have bad intentions, after all, they were not the old people in the family, and the blacksmith uncle still had reservations about their trust. At this time, he happened to take it from Shi Lei's hand and glanced at it a few times, and then replied affirmatively.
"How can there be gold here, is it ......" Shi Lei thought of a possibility, and hurriedly ran over to get in touch with the big octopus, wanting to get accurate news from it.
Because Shi Lei noticed that the color of the big octopus's skin before was not the color of its usual natural state, but a little dull color, and there were even some mottled traces on the surface, which was obviously a change of color according to the environment it was in before.
After Shi Lei signaled the gold in his hand to the big octopus, the big octopus dived down again, and in Shi Lei's nervous and expectant waiting, time became a lot slower.
In fact, the speed of the big octopus is very good, and after a while, he ran to the side of the boat again, and slowly spread out his tentacles in front of Shi Lei. A large number of large gold bricks, which had become golden in Shi Lei's eyes at the moment, were lying quietly on them.
"We've really dug up a big treasure." Shi Lei couldn't help but cheer again. The blacksmith uncle was much calmer than Shi Lei, and instead of cheering in a hurry, he first gave his own old man on the ship a look, asking them to pay attention to the sailors around him, and then turned his head and briefly examined the gold bricks a few times.
"It's all real gold, it's really a lot, these can be about one hundred and fifty catties, not a small amount." Uncle Blacksmith affirmed, and then glanced meaningfully at the sailors around him.
Shi Lei understood what Uncle Blacksmith meant, but he was still worried that these sailors were unreliable. He waved his hand at the blacksmith uncle, and then nodded affirmatively, even if it was to show his attitude.
Then, of course, let the big octopus bring all the gold he could find, this guy is obviously a good collector, and his body is soft enough that even if he hides in some cramped place, he can't escape the eight palms of this smart big guy.
Shi Lei can already say with certainty that this big octopus must live in a wreck, and this guy is a standard collector, which also shows that this big guy's original intelligence level is not low, like a shark, he has never had the habit of collecting anything, and he can't even eat.
got Shi Lei's order, the big octopus went on another trip, and moved all the gold it could find, and finally a total of 800 catties of gold was put into the account, and the big mouth of the laughing Shi Lei never closed.
I praised this cute big guy through spiritual communication, and carefully told it to let it be, be sure to maintain this good habit of collecting, if you can find more shipwrecks by the way, and get some gold, it will be no better.
Leave this big guy to continue to grow in this sea area, and strive to grow into a real sea monster as soon as possible, and then you can help yourself to complete a new mission. Shi Lei hopes that this guy can become a very deterrent lethal weapon, and then go hunt a creature called "Send Tang Envoy".
Shi Lei will not kill those who are still innocent because of the mistakes that have not yet occurred, he treated the little girl Wu Cao before, and now he treats those people in the Wa Kingdom with a similar attitude.
It's just that because of the accumulated crimes of later generations, it is difficult for Shi Lei to have a good impression of these island people.
Although the envoys to the Tang Dynasty did play a positive role in spreading Chinese culture and establishing the supremacy of the Tang Dynasty in their minds, this island nation will have a crazy worship of this huge empire for a long time to come, which is almost like fear of the gods.
However, what the Tang envoys brought back was not only those cultures that could be regarded as spiritual invasions, but also various advanced technologies that were still not very valued today. This is not only in terms of production and drinking, but also in terms of weapons manufacturing technology that Shi Lei cannot tolerate.
For example, the creation of the Tang sword, the katana technology of later generations is obviously inherited here. Of course, in the later dynasties, the knives made are not as good as the quality of other people's projectiles, and we have to blame ourselves for not being angry, failing to pass on those good things, and not being suspicious of the rapid development of others.
Shi Lei wants to cut off the possibility of their development from the source in this way, and don't give them a too high starting point.
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were too generous, did not pay attention to these technologies, underestimated their role, but nourished many former or potential enemies to a certain extent, so that future generations of descendants would have many more armed and more powerful enemies, and failed to really rely on their own advantages in intelligence and intelligence, relying on the asymmetry of equipment to crush the enemy.
